Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

"Not simple, just as it should be!" Chu Qin said with a light smile, "If it were simple, I wouldn't have come!"

"Chu Qin, speaking of which, what exactly do you want to do here?" Ya Yue asked curiously.

"You'll find out!" Chu Qin smiled. It was pointless for Chu Qin to reveal his goal now; without even passing the trial, how could he talk about finding some old turtle, pulling out the Crimson Dragon Sword, and conquering the Crimson Dragon Emperor?

At that moment, a blood-red sea appeared below Chu Qin and his companions!

Their warship landed in front of the blood-red ocean.

This bloody ocean was very strange, with flames covering its entire surface!

"Doesn't this look a bit like the Demon Ancestor Blood River?" Li Ji said in surprise as she looked at the crimson sea in front of her.

"It's different! The Demon Ancestor Blood River is only blood-like in appearance, but the Blood Sea in the Blood Dragon Upper Realm has been infused with real dragon blood!" Jiu Yin explained, "Every hundred million years, the Blood Dragon Upper Realm undergoes a blood exchange, after which the Dragon Clan becomes even stronger. The blood they shed collects in the sea before us, which then ignites into the Blood Dragon Flame! Considered the most destructive flame in the world, even a Demon of the Earth Grade Royal Venerate tried to withstand the Blood Dragon Flame Sea and failed!"

"The young lady is right!" The dragon soul remarked upon hearing Jiu Yin's words, "The Blood Dragon Flame is ignited using the fresh blood of the Dragon Clan. Within the Blood Dragon Flame Sea, no one can use Divine Power; they must rely solely on their flesh to withstand the trial of the Blood Dragon Flame!"

"Chu Tian Zhu, your second challenge is to enter the center of the Blood Dragon Flame Sea and endure for one Shi Chen!"

"What, we can't use Divine Power?" Hearing this, everyone's expressions became tense.

"That's right, you can't use Divine Power!" the dragon soul confirmed, "If no one can persist for one Shi Chen, then you're not qualified to enter the Blood Dragon Upper Realm!"

"Blood Dragon Venerable, is this also part of the set rules?" Chu Qin asked.

"What, scared?" the Blood Dragon Venerable asked with a smile.

"I've never been scared!" Chu Qin stated calmly.

"Then go ahead!" the Blood Dragon Venerable said, still with a hint of a smile.

"Not using Divine Power, but enduring for one Shi Chen, right?" Chu Qin asked, looking at the dragon soul.

"Yes, Chu Tian Zhu, it's not too late to regret now!" the dragon soul replied, "The Blood Dragon Flame can burn not only the flesh but directly incinerate the soul. If your body isn't strong enough, even a slight touch can obliterate your soul! And the closer you get to the center, the stronger the power of the Blood Dragon Flame becomes!"

Before the dragon soul had finished explaining, Chu Qin had already leapt into the sea of fire!

Chu Qin was so composed because he was confident enough, and he knew, the Blood Dragon Venerable wouldn't harm him!

For the Blood Dragon Venerable to harm him would be to harm the Dragon Venerable itself!

Seeing Chu Qin unfold the Phoenix Emperor's Six Wings without hesitation and jump into the sea of fire.

The Phoenix Emperor's Six Wings, when Divine Power cannot be used, are unable to fly, but the buoyancy generated by the flapping of the wings is enough for Chu Qin to stay afloat!

The dragon soul was immediately shocked, and Jiu Yin, Gu Yuena, Qin Sijing, all held their breath in cold sweat!

However, Chu Qin, who entered the sea of fire, wasn't scorched by the Blood Dragon Flame!

One could see that on Chu Qin's body, some crimson light shone bright, and under the dispersal of the Dragon Sovereign Bloodline, the Blood Dragon Flame did not approach!

"How is this possible!" the dragon soul exclaimed in shock. He had never told Chu Qin how to disperse the Blood Dragon Flame.

"Young man, how did you know how to disperse the Blood Dragon Flame?" the Blood Dragon Venerable asked, also somewhat surprised.

"Guessed it!" Chu Qin said with an easy smile, "Since you can't use Divine Power, then what's left but to use the power of the bloodline?"

"I don't believe you guessed it," the Blood Dragon Venerable smiled and said, "But don't be too quick to celebrate. The worst of the Blood Dragon Flame is yet to come!"

"Bring it on!" Chu Qin said, continuing to fly towards the center of the Blood Dragon Flame Sea.

It was clear to see that deeper within, the Blood Dragon Flame grew even more intense, and when Chu Qin reached a certain position, the Blood Sea below the flames suddenly began to churn!

If it were any other time, Chu Qin could have easily stopped the churning Blood Sea with his Divine Power, but unable to use his Divine Power, he immediately began to lose his balance.

And when some of the seawater touched Chu Qin's feet, it instantly corroded away his shoes and upon contact with his skin, caused him excruciating pain!

The women onshore were visibly worried for Chu Qin at this moment.

The seawater was like a venom, corroding away at Chu Qin's feet upon contact, causing visible damage!

```

"Dong'er Sister? Chu Qin, he won't be in trouble, right?" Sea Woman asked anxiously, tightly grasping Bi Bidong's arm.

"Don't worry, he will be fine!" Bi Bidong said.

As expected, although the Blood Sea was constantly corroding Chu Qin's feet, aside from the pain, his feet suffered no actual harm.

In fact, with four ancient bloodlines and having undergone the Three Transformations of Heaven's Honor to refine his body, Chu Qin's body had long reached the point of being impervious to blades and spears, immune to fire and water, and unassailable by poisons.

However, it was because the Blood Sea and Blood Dragon Flame were burning Chu Qin's soul that he was in such agony!

"Venerable Blood Dragon Predecessor, are you trying to refine my soul?" Chu Qin, while enduring the severe pain and advancing toward the center, said.

"Smart! The Blood Dragon Flame and the Blood Sea can strike both the body and the soul. Your body is already strong enough, but your soul is still weak!" Blood Dragon Venerable replied, "In the Infinite Heavens, there are many techniques that can directly attack the soul, so your soul must be tempered!"

"Let me tell you the truth, although your bloodline can disperse the Blood Dragon Flame, I do not approve of you doing so!" Blood Dragon Venerable continued, "Because only by allowing the flame to truly burn your body and soul will you be able to temper yourself."

"Alright, I understand!" Chu Qin got the message from Venerable Blood Dragon.

Meanwhile, Chu Qin had already reached the center of the Blood Sea, where he sat down cross-legged, and the next second, the blood light around his body disappeared!

"The power of the bloodline has vanished!" The most astonished of all was the dragon soul. The dragon soul thought that Chu Qin could disperse the Blood Dragon Flame and that his body could withstand the corrosion of the Blood Sea. He should have been able to endure for a Shi Chen.

But at this moment, Chu Qin actually withdrew his bloodline power!

"What is Chu Qin doing?" Jiu Yin was also staring with wide eyes, extremely puzzled and confused.

"Drawing fire onto oneself to temper oneself!" Azure Dragon and Phoenix, Poseissi, Bi Bidong, and the others said simultaneously.

They knew Chu Qin all too well!

As soon as Chu Qin removed his bloodline power, the surrounding Blood Dragon Flames instantly lost their restraint, pouncing toward Chu Qin like ferocious beasts.

In an instant, Chu Qin's entire body was enveloped by the crimson flames!

His clothes were burned off in a flash, thankfully, the flames wrapped around him, revealing nothing.

Then, the flames began to scorch his skin, muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, and even his soul at the very core!

Every part of his body was being furiously burned, and without being able to use Divine Power, the pain was unimaginable!

Chu Qin's skin quickly turned blood red and then to a blackish red, as if he had turned into char.

Fortunately, the flame was large, covering Chu Qin, so the women outside could not see, or their hearts would break again.

Despite that, the pain was, for Chu Qin, who had experienced countless agonies before, terrifying this time.

Chu Qin couldn't help but let out a painful roar!

"What's happening? Why is Chu Qin screaming in such pain?" Wang Qiu'er said worriedly.

"He won't be in trouble, right?" Zhu Zhuqing was also tightly grasping her ample bosom.

"Impossible, Chu Qin can't be in trouble, when has he ever had trouble?"

The pain had left Chu Qin voiceless. His body was covered in blood, and flames crawled all over his entire body!

Yet, Chu Qin was still persevering, sitting cross-legged here, he could feel the Blood Dragon Flame burning out his body and soul.

In the end, Chu Qin's body was burned away completely, leaving only his soul!

At this moment, he became an ethereal soul!

Chu Qin's gaze remained steadfast; he felt that although his body had been burned away, it could be completely remade, but the trial of the soul was the most challenging!

However, what followed was even more difficult, as Chu Qin completely lost consciousness and sensation, like a gust of wind that could disappear without a trace at any moment!

"Do not be distracted, focus your mind. In your soul, find the feeling from your usual practice!"

Hearing Blood Dragon Venerable's voice, he immediately discarded all stray thoughts and began to seek that feeling within his void-like soul!
